Re: [ALUG] Quoted-Printable and MIME (Was: [ALUG] Sorry about the swearing...)

Of course when we send an ordinary email and think better of something, we might ignore trailing spaces etc. as unimportant - but when kmail notices them in a pgp-mime message, it knows they *must* be represented at the other end, and via 7 bit (rfc3156) too, so it uses qp(rfc2015).

A space, even when trailing, is still a 7-bit character, isn't it? I suspect KMail's misbehaviour is being triggered by a line length

72 but even that shouldn't trigger it. The trailing spaces seen so far just looked like artefacts of other encoding-fu.
